Are you saying the current way we are doing it does NOT support "incremental" backups after the first full backup? One of the NAS devices is a readynas duo rnd2100. In the backup section of the gui, it does say backup:remote::rsync but when i select that and fill in the info and click test connection, it does not connect. Does this one support the rsync daemon?

If at all possible you should run an rsync daemon on the NAS box and then run the rsync command on the other side of the VPN. rsync uses port 873 by default. Or use an extra box connected via LAN (not vpn) to mount the NAS and run the rsync daemon. If the NAS is 192.168.123.6 your command on the other side would be: rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --recursive --times --perms --links --delete /Share/ 192.168.123.6::Backup/EdensLandCorp You can also turn it around to let the NAS poll the backup, you need to run an rsync server on the main site then, but only a few officially support it. regards, Joachim Otahal Chris Arnold schrieb: > Forgive me if this has been addressed here before.
